Nice bit of thunder as it passed over. Really got going as it headed towards Bristol Airport and the Mendips

So close! Hearing some thunder from this going up the channel to Wales.

Looking like we'll miss out again.

They literally popped up out of nowhere just east of here! Heard loud cracks of thunder and had a few big splashes of rain but just a little too far east.

Nice.  Can see it on the Radar. Giving off a few strikes.  Looks like it will pass to the East of me as it travels North East. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion]

Plain old rain here. Nice though,  garden certainly needs it. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion]

Another day watching others get storm's. What is it with the West Country

UKMO HD 12z run for Sunday afternoon/evening - interesting 

 

Then again early hours on Tuesday morning for the SE

That looks like the East get all the action! I thought West was best for Sunday?

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion]

Could here the thunder while at work in Bristol. 

Back home in Weston-super-Mare, and nowt. 

Suspect that's my fill of storm action.

If that huge area of rain & storms is what the yellow warning over is for then they need to adjust that way further north east than they have it at the moment! 

Or is there more developments to the south east of us due later? 

I think that's it. We're supposed to get rain later, but everything ended up further North and East than predicted. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion]

It's a real shame. Looks like no rain for the rest of the week as well.

Looks like a bust for us...

I can't work it out because the bbc forecast shows a direct hit for us between now and midnight?  

 

We miss out again. Even worse things is, it looks like all we'll get is the crud from the storms. Might not even get any rain.

I still think the overnight risk is still there as long as the capping breaks properly late evening. This is going basically how the WRF said it would which puts the high risk at risk around 10-11pm rather than 4-5pm.

Is the West Country out of the game?

I may be wrong but I think there is a convergence zone running along the red line. Which is somewhat east of where shown on most of the models.

Probably about right. Takes me out of the game.

I see the Bristol storm shield is well & truly working this weekend!  It’s been cloudy, relatively fresh with intermittent drizzle here for much of the day.

If I wasn’t on “kid duty” today, I’d be heading east along the M4.  Typically, tomorrow work takes me to Theale, so hoping for some fun then maybe.

I can see areas further east than many of the mornings forecasts now getting some action.  Thing’s definitely kicking of around south and west London now.

I called it a bust for this area this morning. Apart from a few breaks in the cloud, it's stayed cloudy all day so far. 

[Storms and Convective discussion - June 2023]

Can safely say, I won't see any thunderstorms today. Today has the all too familiar feeling of a bust.

You had it spot on yesterday so let's hope you've done it again. Hell even I may see something in my neck of the woods.

I'm in and around the warning zone's,  but still don't have any great confidence in seeing anything. Maybe when it gets dark, I might see some lightning in the distance. 

[Storms and Convective discussion - June 2023]

Fully expect to see nothing here again. 

Would be nice to get a bit of rain. 

[June 2023 C.E.T. and EWP forecast contests]

15.4 and 72mm please 

[Storms and Convective discussion - 20th March 2023 onwards]

Nowt here as to be expected, even though we are in the warning zone. 

[Storms and Convective discussion - 20th March 2023 onwards]

Same here too, nothing remotely thundery. And tomorrow looks like a bust as well.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion]

North Somerset is the place to live if you don't like thunderstorms or snow. 

I really need to move  

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion]

I can see the usual stormshield is doing it's job for us in W-S-M.

Seems to be decaying before it gets to us, but to the South & East the storms are going strong.

[May 2023 C.E.T. and EWP forecast contests]

Changing mine to 12.6c and 84mm
